DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to novelN-[(piperazinyl)hetaryl]arylsulfonamide compounds. The compounds possessvaluable therapeutic properties and are suitable, in particular, fortreating diseases which respond to modulation of the dopamine D₃receptor.

Neurons obtain their information by way of G protein-coupled receptors,inter alia. A large number of substances exert their effect by way ofthese receptors. One of them is dopamine. Confirmed findings exist withregard to the presence of dopamine and its physiological function as aneurotransmitter. Disturbances in the dopaminergic transmitter systemresult in diseases of the central nervous system which include, forexample, schizophrenia, depression and Parkinson's disease. Thesediseases, and others, are treated with drugs which interact with thedopamine receptors.

Up until 1990, two subtypes of dopamine receptor had been clearlydefined pharmacologically, namely the D₁ and D₂ receptors. Morerecently, a third subtype was found, namely the D₃ receptor whichappears to mediate some effects of antipsychotics and antiparkinsonians(J. C. Schwartz et al., The Dopamine D₃ Receptor as a Target forAntipsychotics, in Novel Antipsychotic Drugs, H. Y. Meltzer, Ed. RavenPress, New York 1992, pages 135-144; M. Dooley et al., Drugs and Aging1998, 12, 495-514, J. N. Joyce, Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2001, 90,pp. 231-59 “The Dopamine D₃ Receptor as a Therapeutic Target forAntipsychotic and Antiparkinsonian Drugs”).

Since then, the dopamine receptors have been divided into two families.On the one hand, there is the D₂ group, consisting of D₂, D₃ and D₄receptors, and, on the other hand, the D₁ group, consisting of D₁ and D₅receptors. Whereas D₁ and D₂ receptors are widely distributed, D₃receptors appear to be expressed regioselectively. Thus, these receptorsare preferentially to be found in the limbic system and the projectionregions of the mesolimbic dopamine system, especially in the nucleusaccumbens, but also in other regions, such as the amygdala. Because ofthis comparatively regioselective expression, D₃ receptors are regardedas being a target having few side-effects and it is assumed that while aselective D₃ ligand would have the properties of known antipsychotics,it would not have their dopamine D₂ receptor-mediated neurologicalside-effects (P. Sokoloff et al., Localization and Function of the D₃Dopamine Receptor, Arzneim. Forsch./Drug Res. 42(1), 224 (1992); P.Sokoloff et al. Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a NovelDopamine Receptor (D₃) as a Target for Neuroleptics, Nature, 347, 146(1990)).

Compounds having an affinity for the dopamine D₃ receptor have beendescribed in the prior art on various occasions, e.g. in WO 96/02519, WO96/02520, WO 96/02249, WO 96/02246 and DE 10131543 and WO 99/02503. Someof these compounds possess high affinities for the dopamine D₃ receptor.They have therefore been proposed as being suitable for treatingdiseases of the central nervous system. Some of the compounds describedin these publications possess a piperazinylhetaryl structure.

The invention is based on the object of providing compounds which act asselective dopamine D₃ receptor ligands.

This object is achieved by means ofN-[(piperazinyl)hetaryl]arylsulfonamide compounds of the general formulaI

in which R¹, R^(2a), R^(2b), R^(2c), X, Y and R^(b) have the meaningsspecified in one of the lines 1 to 474 in Table 1.

The compounds I according to the invention are prepared in analogy withmethods known from the literature. An important approach to thecompounds according to the invention with R being O or N—R³ is offeredby the reaction of a hetarylcompound If with an arylsulfonic acidderivative III as depicted in scheme 1.

In scheme 1, n, R¹, R², R³, Ar and Q have the previously mentionedmeanings. R is O or N—R³. X is a nucleophilically displaceable leavinggroup, in particular a halogen atom and, especially, chlorine orbromine. The reaction depicted in scheme 1 takes place under thereaction conditions which are customary for preparing arylsulfonamidecompounds or arylsulfonic esters, respectively, and which are described,for example, in J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, JohnWiley & Sons, New York, 1985 p 444 and the literature cited therein,European J. Org. Chem. 2002 (13), pp. 2094-2108, Tetrahedron 2001, 57(27) pp. 5885-5895, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2000,10(8), pp. 835-838 and Synthesis 2000 (1), pp. 103-108.

The reaction customarily takes place in an inert solvent, for example inan ether, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butylether or tetrahydrofuran, a halohydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane, analiphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon, such as pentane, hexane orcyclohexane, or an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as toluene, xylene, cumeneand the like, or in a mixture of the abovementioned solvents.

The reaction of II with III is customarily carried out in the presenceof an auxiliary base. Suitable bases are inorganic bases, such assodiumcarbonate or potassiumcarbonate, or sodiumhydrogencarbonate orpotassiumhydrogencarbonate, and organic bases, for exampletrialkylamines, such as triethylamine, or pyridine compounds, such aspyridine, lutidine and the like. The latter compounds can at the sametime serve as solvents. The auxiliary base is customarily employed in atleast equimolar quantities, based on the amine compound II.

The compounds of the general formula II are known per se or, in case Ris N—R^(3a), can be prepared in the manner shown in schemes 2.

In scheme 2, n, R² and Q have the previously mentioned meanings. R^(1′)has the meanings different from hydrogen which are specified for R¹ oris a suitable protecting group. Suitable protecting groups aredisclosed, for example, in P. Kocienski, Protecting Groups,Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart 2000, Chapter 6. Y is a nucleophilicallydisplaceable leaving group, in particular a halogen atom, e.g. chlorineor bromine, or an alkylsulfonyl group, e.g. methylsulfonyl.

The reaction depicted in step a) in scheme 2 takes place under thereaction conditions which are customary for a nucleophilic substitutionon an aromatic radical and which are described, for example, inTetrahedron 1999, 55(33), pp. 10243-10252, J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40(22),pp. 3679-3686 and Synthetic Communications, 1993, 23(5), pp. 591-599.Where appropriate, it can be advantageous to convert a ring nitrogenatom in the Q group into its N-oxide (see, for example, Angew. Chem.Int. Ed. Engl.,2002 41(1 1), pp. 1937-1940, J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28(2),pp. 248-252 and Tetrahedron Lett. 2002 43(17) pp. 3121-3123). Thisapproach has proved to be of value, in particular, for preparingcompounds I in which Q is a pyridin-2,4-diyl group. In connection withthe subsequent reduction of the nitro group in VI (step b), the N-oxidegroup is also reduced. For this, the reduction is carried out, forexample, in the presence of indium salts.

If 5-bromonitropyridine is used as compound V in step a) in accordancewith scheme 2, the coupling is also achieved under palladium catalysisin the presence of an auxiliary base, for example an alkali metalcarbonate such as cesium carbonate. Particularly suitable palladiumcatalysts in this connection are palladium(0) compounds or palladiumcompounds which are able to form a palladium(0) compound under reactionconditions, e.g. palladium dichloride,tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0),tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), advantageously in combinationwith phosphine ligands, e.g. triarylphosphines, such astriphenylphosphine, trialkylphosphines, such as tributylphosphine, andcycloalkylphosphines, such as tricyclohexylphosphine, and, especially,using phosphine chelate ligands, such as2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl. The conditions which arerequired for reactions of this nature are described, for example, inTetrahedron Lett. 2001, 42(22), p. 3681 and Tetrahedron Lett. 2002,43(12), pp. 2171-2173.

In step b), the nitro group in VI is reduced to the NH₂ group in II.Subsequently, in step c), the NH₂ group can be converted into a—NR^(3′)H group, in which R^(3′) has the meanings different fromhydrogen which are specified for R³.

The reaction conditions which are required for step b) correspond to thecustomary conditions for reducing aromatic nitro groups which have beendescribed extensively in the literature (see, for example, J. March,Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed., J. Wiley & Sons, New-York, 1985,p.1183 and the literature cited in this reference).

The reduction is achieved, for example, by reacting the nitro compoundVII with a metal such as iron, zinc or tin under acidic reactionconditions, i.e. using nascent hydrogen, or using a complex hydride suchas lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride, preferably in thepresence of transition metal compounds of nickel or cobalt such asNiCl₂(P(phenyl)₃)₂, or COCl₂,(see Ono et al. Chem. Ind. (London), 1983p.480), or using NaBH₂S₃ (see Lalancette et al. Can. J. Chem. 49, 1971,p. 2990), with it being possible to carry out these reductions,depending on the given reagent, in substance or in a solvent or diluent.Alternatively, the reduction of VI to II can be carried out withhydrogen in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, e.g. usinghydrogen in the presence of catalysts based on platinum, palladium,nickel, ruthenium or rhodium. The catalysts can contain the transitionmetal in elemental form or in the form of a complex compound, of a saltor of an oxide of the transition metal, with it being possible, for thepurpose of modifying the activity, to use customary coligands, e.g.organic phosphine compounds, such as triphenylphosphine,tricyclohexylphosphine or tri-n-butylphosphines or phosphites. Thecatalyst is customarily employed in quantities of from 0.001 to 1 molper mol of compound VI, calculated as catalyst metal. In a preferredvariant, the reduction is effected using tin(II) chloride in analogywith the methods described in Bioorganic and, Medicinal ChemistryLetters, 2002, 12(15), pp. 1917-1919 and J. Med. Chem. 2002, 45(21), pp.4679-4688. The reaction of VI with tin(II) chloride is preferablycarried out in an inert organic solvent, preferably an alcohol such asmethanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol.

Reducing VI results in compounds II in which R³ is hydrogen. Customarymethods can then be used to react these compounds with an alkylatingagent R³-X, in which R^(3′) is C₁—C-₄-alkyl and X is a nucleophilicallydisplaceable leaving group (e.g. halogen, such as chlorine, bromine oriodine), resulting in a compound II in which R³=alkyl (step c). Thereaction conditions which are required for this are disclosed, forexample, in WO 02/83652, Tetrahedron 2000, 56(38) pp. 7553-7560 andSynlett. 2000 (4), pp. 475-480.

The compound I can also be prepared by the route depicted in scheme 3:

In scheme 3, n, R, R¹, R², Ar and 0 have the previously mentionedmeanings. Y is a nucleophilically displaceable leaving group, inparticular a halogen atom, e.g. chlorine or bromine, or an alkylsulfonylgroup, e.g. methylsulfonyl. The reaction of VlI with VIII, as depictedin scheme 3, takes place under the reaction conditions specified forscheme 2, step a). Compounds of the general formulae VII and VIII areknown or can be prepared in analogy with the methods known from theliterature. Compounds or the formula V, wherein R is N—R³ or an oxygenatom can be prepared by amidation of the the corresponding aminocompoundX-Q-NHR³ (or esterification of the corresponding hydroxycompound X-Q-OH)with a sulfonylhalide, especially with a sulfonylchloride of the formulaZ—SO₂—Ar, wherein Z is halogen, especially chlorine or bromine,according to standard methods of organic chemistry (see e.g. J. March,Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3^(rd) edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York,1985 p 444 and the literature cited therein).

Compounds of general formula I, in which R¹ is an allyl group, can beconverted into compounds possessing different R¹ substituents using thesynthetic route shown in scheme 4.

In scheme 4, n, R, R², Ar and Q have the previously mentioned meanings.The elimination of the allyl group, as depicted in step a) in scheme 4,is achieved, for example, by reacting I [R¹=allyl] with an allyltrapping agent, such as mercaptobenzoic acid or 1,3-dimethylbarbituricacid, in the presence of catalytic quantities of palladium (0) compoundsor palladium compounds which are able to form a palladium(0) compoundunder reaction conditions, e.g. palladium dichloride,tetral(is(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) ortris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), advantageously in combinationwith phosphine ligands, e.g. triarylphosphines, such astriphenylphosphine, trialkylphosphines, such as tributylphosphine, andcycloalkylphosphines, such as tricyclohexylphosphine, and especiallywith phosphine chelate ligands, such as2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl or1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, using methods known from theliterature (with regard to eliminating N-allyl in the presence ofmercaptobenzoic acid, see WO 94/24088; with regard to eliminating in thepresence of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, see J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123(28), pp. 6801-6808 and J. Org. Chem 2002, 67(11) pp. 3718-3723).Alternatively, the elimination of N-allyl, as depicted in scheme 4 stepa), can also be effected by reacting in the presence of rhodiumcompounds, such as tris(triphenylphosphine)chlororhodium(1), usingmethods known from the literature (see J. Chem. Soc., Perkin TransactionI: Organic and BioOrganic Chemistry 1999 (21) pp. 3089-3104 andTetrahedron Asymmetry 1997, 8(20), pp. 3387-3391).

The resulting piperazine compound I [R¹=H] can then be reacted, in aknown manner, in the sense of an alkylation, with a compound R¹-X. Inthis compound, R¹ is C₁—C₄-alkyl, C₃—C₆-Cycloalkyl, C₁—C₄-haloalkyl,C₁—C₄-alkoxy-C₁—C₄-alkyl or C₃—C₆-cycloalkyl-C₁—C₄-alkyl and X is anucleophilically displaceable leaving group, e.g. halogen,trifluoroacetate, alkylsulfonate, arylsulfonate, alkyl sulfate and thelike. The reaction conditions which are required for the alkylation instep b) have been adequately disclosed, e.g. in Bioorganic and MedicinalChemistry Lett. 2002, 12(7), pp. 2443-2446 and also 2002, 12(5),pp.1917-1919.

The conversion, as depicted in scheme 4, step b), of the piperazinecompound I [R¹=H] obtained in step a) can also be achieved, in the senseof a reductive amination, by reacting I [R¹=H] with a suitable ketone oraldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent, e.g. in the presence of aborohydride such as sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride orsodium triacetoxyborohydride. The skilled person is familiar with thereaction conditions which are required for a reductive amination, e.g.from Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Left. 2002, 12(5), pp. 795-798and 12(7) pp. 1269-1273.

The conversion, as depicted in scheme 4, step b), of the piperazinecompound I [R¹=H] obtained in step a) can also be achieved by successiveacylation and subsequent reduction of the acylation product, using themethod depicted in scheme 4a:

In scheme 4a, n, R, R², Ar and Q have the previously mentioned meanings.The acylation in step a) and the reduction in step b) are effected usingstandard methods of organic chemistry as are described, for example, inJ. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. J. Wiley & Sons, New York1985, p. 370 and 373 (acylation) and p. 1099 f. and in the literaturecited in this publication (with regard to acylation, see also Synth.Commun. 1986, 16, p. 267, and with regard to reduction, see also J.Heterocycl. Chem. 1979, 16, p. 1525).

In compounds of the general formula I which carry a halogen atom, inparticular bromine or iodine, on the aromatic radical Ar, the halogenatom can be converted into an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkynyl orcycloalkylalkyl group using methods which are known per se. Theconversion is achieved by coupling the halo compound I to an alkyl-,alkenyl-, alkynyl-, cycloalkyl- or cycloalkylalkyl-boronic acid compoundunder the conditions of a Suzuki coupling as is described, for example,in Tetrahedron Lett. 2002, 43, pp. 6987-6990; Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, pp.2457-2483 and J. Org. Chem. 66(21) (2001), pp. 7124-7128.

Compounds of the formula I, wherein R is CR^(a)R³b, can be also preparedby the synthetic route illustrated in scheme 5:

In scheme 5, n, R¹, R², Q, R^(3a), R^(3b) and Ar are as defined above. Lis a nucleophilically displaceable leaving group, in particular ahalogen atom such as chlorine or bromine or a sulfonate group, e.g. aC₁—C₄-alkylsulfonate such as methanesulfonate or an arylsulfonate suchbenzenesulfoante or tosylate (toluene sulfonate). L may also be OH, whenR^(3a), R^(3b) are different from hydrogen. The reaction depicted in thefirst step of scheme 5 takes place under the reaction conditions whichare customary for preparing arylsulfide compounds which are described,for example, in J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3^(rd) edition,John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1985 p 360 to 362, and in the literaturecited therein.

In the second step of scheme 5 the sulfide X obtained in the first stepis oxidized to the corresponding sulfone I (R=CR^(3a)R^(3b)) underreaction conditions which are customary for preparing arylsulfonecompounds from the corresponding arylsulfides and which are described,for example, in J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, ₃rd edition, JohnWiley & Sons, New York, 1985 p 1089 f. and in the literature citedtherein.

The compounds of the formula IX are known in the art or can be preparedaccording to the method depicted in scheme 6:

In scheme 6, n, R¹, R², Q, R^(3a), R^(3b) and Ar are as defined above.Hal is halogen, especially chlorine, bromine or iodine. In step (a) ofscheme 6 the halogen compound XI is first metallized, i.e. convertedinto the corresponding lithium compound or magnesium compound bystandard methods of organic chemistry and the thus obtained metalcompound is reacted with an aldehyde or ketone to obtain the alcohol XII(see e.g. Tetrahedron 2003, 59 (24), 4303-4308). In step (b) he OH groupof XIl is then converted into a suitable leaving group, e.g. into ahalogen atom by reaction with thionylhalide such as SOCl₂ orphosphorylhalide such as POCl₃, or into an alkylsulfonate orarylsulfonate by reaction with an alkylsulfonylhalide such asmethanesulfonylchloride or with an arylsulfonylhalide such astoluoenesulfonylchloride (see e.g. J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28(12),1790-1796).

Alternatively the halogen compound XI is converted into the carbonylcompound XIII (step c, see e.g. J. Med. Chem.1987, 30 (8),1494-1497),which is then reduced (R^(3b)=H) or reacted with an alkylgrignardR^(3b)-Mg-X (X=halogen, e.g. Cl or Br) to obtain the alcohol XII (step(d), see e.g. J. Org.

If not otherwise indicated, the above-described reactions are generallycarried out in a solvent at temperatures between room temperature andthe boiling temperature of the solvent employed. Alternatively, theactivation energy which is required for the reaction can be introducedinto the reaction mixture using microwaves, something which has provedto be of value, in particular, in the case of the reactions catalyzed bytransition metals (with regard to reactions using microwaves, seeTetrahedron 2001, 57, p. 9199 ff. p. 9225 ff. and also, in a generalmanner, “Microwaves in Organic Synthesis”, Andre Loupy (Ed.), Wiley-VCH2002.

Examples of solvents which can be used are ethers, such as diethylether, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether or tetrahydrofuran,aprotic polar solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide,dimethoxyethane, and acetonitrile, aromatic hydrocarbons, such astoluene and xylene, ketones, such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone,halohydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane anddichloroethane, esters, such as ethyl acetate and methyl butyrate,carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid or propionic acid, and alcohols,such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol and butanol.

If desired, it is possible for a base to be present in order toneutralize protons which are released in the reactions. Suitable basesinclude inorganic bases, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate,sodium hydrogen carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate, and, inaddition, alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide, alkalimetal hydrides, such as sodium hydride, and also organometalliccompounds, such as butyllithium compounds or alkylmagnesium compounds,or organic nitrogen bases, such as triethylamine or pyridine. The lattercompounds can at the same time serve as solvents.

The crude product is isolated in a customary manner, for example byfiltering, distilling off the solvent or extracting from the reactionmixture, etc. The resulting compounds can be purified in a customarymanner, for example by means of recrystallizing from a solvent, by meansof chromatography or by means of converting into an acid addition salt.

The acid addition salts are prepared in a customary manner by mixing thefree base with a corresponding acid, where appropriate in solution in anorganic solvent, for example a lower alcohol, such as methanol, ethanolor propanol, an ether, such as methyl tert-butyl ether or diisopropylether, a ketone, such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, or an ester,such as ethyl acetate.

The compounds according to the invention of the formula I are highlyselective dopamine D₃ receptor ligands which, because of their lowaffinity for other receptors such as D₁ receptors, D₄ receptors,α1-adrenergic and/or α2-adrenergic receptors, muscarinergic receptors,histamine receptors, opiate receptors and, in particular, dopamine D₂receptors, give rise to fewer side-effects than do the classicneuroleptics, which are D₂ receptor antagonists.

The high affinity of the compounds according to the invention for D₃receptors is reflected in very low in-vitro K_(i) values of as a ruleless than 100 nM (nmoVI), in particular less than 50 nM and, inparticular, of less than 10 nM. The displacement of [¹²⁵I]-iodosulpridecan, for example, be used in receptor binding studies for determiningbinding affinities for D₃ receptors.

The selectivity K_(i)(D₂)/K_(i)(D₃) of the compounds according to theinvention is as a rule at least 10, preferably at least 30, even betterat least 50 and particularly advantageously at least 100. Thedisplacement of [³H]SCH23390, [¹²⁵I] iodosulpride or [¹²⁵I] spiperonecan be used, for example, for carrying out receptor binding studies onD₁, D₂ and D₄ receptors.

Because of their binding profile, the compounds can be used for treatingdiseases which respond to dopamine D₃ ligands, i.e. they are effectivefor treating those disturbances or diseases in which exerting aninfluence on (modulating) the dopamine D₃ receptors leads to animprovement in the clinical picture or to the disease being cured.Examples of these diseases are disturbances or diseases of the centralnervous system.

Disturbances or diseases of the central nervous system are understood asmeaning disturbances which affect the spinal chord and, in particular,the brain. Within the meaning of the invention, the term “disturbance”denotes anomalies which are as a rule regarded as being pathologicalconditions or functions and which can manifest themselves in the form ofparticular signs, symptoms and/or malfunctions. While the treatmentaccording to the invention can be directed toward individualdisturbances, i.e. anomalies or pathological conditions, it is alsopossible for several anomalies, which may be causatively linked to eachother, to be combined into patterns, i.e. syndromes, which can betreated in accordance with the invention.

The disturbances which can be treated in accordance with the inventionare, in particular, psychiatric and neurological disturbances. Thesedisturbances include, in particular, organic disturbances, includingsymptomatic disturbances, such as psychoses of the acute exogenousreaction type or attendant psychoses of organic or exogenous cause,e.g., in association with metabolic disturbances, infections andendocrinopathogies; endogenous psychoses, such as schizophrenia andschizotype and delusional disturbances; affective disturbances, such asdepressions, mania and/or manicdepressive conditions; and also mixedforms of the above-described disturbances; neurotic and somatoformdisturbances and also disturbances in association with stress;dissociative disturbances, e.g. loss of consciousness, clouding ofconsciousness, double consciousness and personality disturbances;disturbances in attention and waking/sleeping behavior, such asbehavioral disturbances and emotional disturbances whose onset lies inchildhood and youth, e.g. hyperactivity in children, intellectualdeficits, in particular attention disturbances (attention deficitdisorders), memory disturbances and cognitive disturbances, e.g.impaired learning and memory (impaired cognitive function), dementia,narcolepsy and sleep disturbances, e.g. restless legs syndrome;development disturbances; anxiety states, delirium; sexlifedisturbances, e.g. impotence in men; eating disturbances, e.g. anorexiaor bulimia; addiction; and other unspecified psychiatric disturbances.

The disturbances which can be treated in accordance with the inventionalso include Parkinson's disease and epilepsy and, in particular, theaffective disturbances connected thereto.

The addiction diseases include psychic disturbances and behavioraldisturbances which are caused by the abuse of psychotropic substances,such as pharmaceuticals or narcotics, and also other addiction diseases,such as addiction to gaming (impulse control disorders not elsewhereclassified). Examples of addictive substances are: opioids (e.g.morphine, heroin and codeine), cocaine; nicotine; alcohol; substanceswhich interact with the GABA chloride channel complex, sedatives,hypnotics and tranquilizers, for example benzodiazepines; LSD;cannabinoids; psychomotor stimulants, such as3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (ecstasy); amphetamine andamphetamine-like substances such as methylphenidate and other stimulantsincluding caffeine. Addictive substances which come particularly intoconsideration are opioids, cocaine, amphetamine or amphetamine-likesubstances, nicotine and alcohol.

With regard to the treatment of addiction diseases, particularpreference is given to those compounds according to the invention of theformula I which themselves do not possess any psychotropic effect. Thiscan also be observed in a test using rats, which, after having beenadministered compounds which can be used in accordance with theinvention, reduce their self administration of psychotropic substances,for example cocaine.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the compoundsaccording to the invention are suitable for treating disturbances whosecauses can at least partially be attributed to an anomalous activity ofdopamine D₃ receptors.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the treatment isdirected, in particular, toward those disturbances which can beinfluenced, within the sense of an expedient medicinal treatment, by thebinding of preferably exogeneously administered binding partners(ligands) to dopamine D₃ receptors.

The diseases which can be treated with the compounds according to theinvention are frequently characterized by progressive development, i.e.the above-described conditions change over the course of time; as arule, the severity increases and conditions may possibly merge into eachother or other conditions may appear in addition to those which alreadyexist.

The compounds according to the invention can be used to treat a largenumber of signs, symptoms and/or malfunctions which are connected withthe disturbances of the central nervous system and, in particular, theabovementioned conditions. These signs, symptoms and/or malfunctionsinclude, for example, a disturbed relationship to reality, lack ofinsight and ability to meet customary social norms or the demands madeby life, changes in temperament, changes in individual drives, such ashunger, sleep, thirst, etc., and in mood, disturbances in the ability toobserve and combine, changes in personality, in particular emotionallability, hallucinations, ego-disturbances, distractedness, ambivalence,autism, depersonalization and false perceptions, delusional ideas,chanting speech, lack of synkinesia, short-step gait, flexed posture oftrunk and limbs, tremor, poverty of facial expression, monotonousspeech, depressions, apathy, impeded spontaneity and decisiveness,impoverished association ability, anxiety, nervous agitation,stammering, social phobia, panic disturbances, withdrawal symptoms inassociation with dependency, maniform syndromes, states of excitationand confusion, dysphoria, dyskinetic syndromes and tic disturbances,e.g. Huntington's chorea and Gilles-de-la-Tourette's syndrome, vertigosyndromes, e.g. peripheral positional, rotational and oscillatoryvertigo, melancholia, hysteria, hypochondria and the like.

Within the meaning of the invention, a treatment also includes apreventive treatment (prophylaxis), in particular as relapse prophylaxisor phase prophylaxis, as well as the treatment of acute or chronicsigns, symptoms and/or malfunctions. The treatment can be orientatedsymptomatically, for example as the suppression of symptoms. It can beeffected over a short period, be orientated over the medium term or canbe a long-term treatment, for example within the context of amaintenance therapy.

The compounds according to the invention are preferentially suitable fortreating diseases of the central nervous system, in particular fortreating affective disturbances; neurotic disturbances, stressdisturbances and somatoform disturbances and psychoses, and, inparticular, for treating schizophrenia and depression. Because of theirhigh selectivity with regard to the D₃ receptor, the compounds Iaccording to the invention are also suitable for treating disturbancesof kidney function, in particular disturbances of kidney function whichare caused by diabetes mellitus (see WO 00/67847) and, especially,diabetic nephropathy.

Within the context of the treatment, the use according to the inventionof the described compounds involves a method. In this method, aneffective quantity of one or more compounds, as a rule formulated inaccordance with pharmaceutical and veterinary practice, is administeredto the individual to be treated, preferably a mammal, in particular ahuman being, productive animal or domestic animal. Whether such atreatment is indicated, and in which form it is to take place, dependson the individual case and is subject to medical assessment (diagnosis)which takes into consideration signs, symptoms and/or malfunctions whichare present, the risks of developing particular signs, symptoms and/ormalfunctions, and other factors.

As a rule, the treatment is effected by means of single or repeateddaily administration, where appropriate together, or alternating, withother active compounds or active compound-containing preparations suchthat a daily dose of preferably from about 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg ofbodyweight, in the case of oral administration, or of from about 0.1 to100 mg/kg of bodyweight, in the case of parenteral administration, issupplied to an individual to be treated.

The invention also relates to the production of pharmaceuticalcompositions for treating an individual, preferably a mammal, inparticular a human being, productive animal or domestic animal. Thus,the ligands are customarily administered in the form of pharmaceuticalcompositions which comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable excipienttogether with at least one ligand according to the invention and, whereappropriate, other active compounds. These compositions can, forexample, be administered orally, rectally, transdermally,subcutaneously, intravenously, intramuscularly or intranasally.

Examples of suitable pharmaceutical formulations are solid medicinalforms, such as powders, granules, tablets, in particular film tablets,lozenges, sachets, cachets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, such as hardgelatin capsules and soft gelatin capsules, suppositories or vaginalmedicinal forms, semisolid medicinal forms, such as ointments, creams,hydrogels, pastes or plasters, and also liquid medicinal forms, such assolutions, emulsions, in particular oil-in-water emulsions, suspensions,for example lotions, injection preparations and infusion preparations,and eyedrops and eardrops. Implanted release devices can also be usedfor administering inhibitors according to the invention. In addition, itis also possible to use liposomes or microspheres. When producing thecompositions, inhibitors according to the invention are usually mixed ordiluted with an excipient. Excipients can be solid, semisolid or liquidmaterials which serve as vehicles, carriers or medium for the activecompound.

Suitable excipients are listed in the specialist medicinal monographs.In addition, the formulations can comprise pharmaceutically acceptablecarriers or customary auxiliary substances, such as glidants; wettingagents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preservatives; antioxidants;antirritants; chelating agents; coating auxiliaries; emulsionstabilizers; film formers; gel formers; odor masking agents; tastecorrigents; resin; hydrocolloids; solvents; solubilizers; neutralizingagents; diffusion accelerators; pigments; quaternary ammonium compounds;refatting and overfatting agents; raw materials for ointments, creams oroils; silicone derivatives; spreading auxiliaries; stabilizers;sterilants; suppository bases; tablet auxiliaries, such as binders,fillers, glidants, disintegrants or coatings; propellants; dryingagents; opacifiers; thickeners; waxes; plasticizers and white mineraloils. A formulation in this regard is based on specialist knowledge asdescribed, for example, in Fiedler, H. P., Lexikon der Hilfsstoffe fürPharmazie, Kosmetik und angrenzende Gebiete [Encyclopedia of auxiliarysubstances for pharmacy, cosmetics and related fields], 4^(th) edition,Aulendorf: ECV-Editio-Kantor-Verlag, 1996.

The following examples serve to explain the invention without limitingit.

The magnetic nuclear resonance spectral properties (NMR) refer to thechemical shifts (δ) expressed in parts per million (ppm). The relativearea of the shifts in the ¹H NMR spectrum corresponds to the number ofhydrogen atoms for a particular functional type in the molecule. Thenature of the shift, as regards multiplicity, is indicated as singlet(s), broad singlet (s. br.), doublet (d), broad doublet (d br.), triplet(t), broad triplet (t br.), quartet (q), quintet (quint.) and multiplet(m).

Measurement and analysis:

After having been incubated at 25° C. for 60 minutes, the assay mixtureswere filtered through a Whatman GF/B glass fiber filter under vacuumusing a cell collecting device. The filters were transferred toscintillation viols using a filter transfer system. After 4 ml of UltimaGold® (Packard) have been added, the samples were shaken for one hourand the radioactivity was then counted in a Beta-Counter (Packard,Tricarb 2000 or 2200CA). The cpm values were converted into dpm using astandard quench series and the program belonging to the instrument.

The inhibition curves were analyzed by means of iterative nonlinearregression analysis using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) which issimilar to the “LIGAND” program described by Munson and Rodbard.

In these tests, the compounds according to the invention exhibit verygood affinities for the D₃ receptor (<100 nM, frequently <50 nM) andbind selectively to the D₃ receptor.
